    摘要: Signal lines for supplying signal currents to respective pixel circuits having light emitting elements are arranged. A signal line driving circuit generates, on a signal line, a signal current corresponding to the image data, by switching bit weighting currents output from bit weighting current source circuits provided for respective bits of the image data, using a switch circuit turned on/off dependent on the corresponding bit. Each current source circuit has a function of correcting the level of the bit weighting current output from itself, based on a reference current of the bit weighting current supplied from a reference current line. Therefore, even when the characteristics of TFTs forming respective current source circuits vary widely, variation in signal currents among the signal lines can be suppressed, and unevenness in emission luminance can be suppressed.

    摘要: A current supply circuit providing a data line with a current corresponding to a digital signal composed of data bits includes a current control circuit, a precharge switch and a precharge regulating circuit. The current control circuit responds to control signals reflecting respective data bits to control the amount of current along the data line. The precharge switch precharges the data line to a predetermined voltage prior to current supply. The precharge regulating circuit exchanges with the data line electric charge corresponding to the control signals to move the voltage on the data line closer to a steady voltage corresponding to the data bits. In this way, an analog current corresponding to digital data can be promptly produced.

    摘要: A current supply circuit includes a bit select circuit selectively providing even-numbered bits or odd-numbered bits of eight bit image data, and supplies a gray-scale current corresponding to the bits provided from the bit select circuit to a pixel. In a one-frame period, a time length for supplying a current corresponding to the even-numbered bits to the light-emitting element is set twice as large as a time length for supplying a current corresponding to the odd-numbered bits. By setting 16 levels of the gray-scale current for four bits, a current-time product of a current passing through the light-emitting element during the one-frame period can be controlled to 256 levels for eight bits. Thereby, an image display device provided at each of the pixels with the light-emitting element can reduce sizes of circuits generating the gray-scale current in accordance with a digital signal.

The current control circuit responds to control signal reflecting respective data bits to control the amount of current along the data line (DL). The precharge switch precharges the data line to a predetermined voltage prior to current supply. The precharge regulating circuit exchanges with the data line electric charge corresponding to the control signals to move the voltage on the data line closer to a steady voltage corresponding to the data bits. In this way, an analog current corresponding to digital data can be promptly produced.

    摘要: A display current of a whole gray scale range according to a display signal of four bits is produced from a sum of output currents of an analog current supply circuit producing a first output current according to lower data bits and two digital current supply circuits operating in accordance with corresponding data bits to execute or stop generation of second and third output currents according to higher data bits. The analog current supply circuit has a calibration function of compensating for output current variations due to transistor characteristics at one point in a control range of the first output current. A display device with light-emitting elements can accurately generate a display current for gray-scale expression without imposing an excessive load on a manufacturing process while suppressing circuit footprint.

    摘要: In a color liquid crystal display device, two capacitors are connected in parallel between a pixel signal line and an electrode of a liquid cell, or one of the capacitors is connected therebetween, or none of the capacitors are connected therebetween, in order to selectively set a potential of the electrode of the liquid crystal cell in any of four steps. Therefore, gradation display in four steps can be achieved without a digital-to-analog conversion circuit, so that the cost of the device can be reduced.

    摘要: In first and second gate electrodes constituting a gate electrode, the gate length of the second gate electrode is set shorter than the gate length of the first gate electrode and short enough to produce the short channel effect. The threshold voltage of a second transistor corresponding to the second gate electrode can thereby be made lower than the threshold voltage of a first transistor corresponding to the first gate electrode. When the same voltage is applied to the first and second gate electrodes, an electric field concentration at the channel edge on the drain side is reduced. This in result reduces the channel length modulation effect.
